Morning Folks!!
I can see things through the eyes of an end-user because I am an end-user and so are many of you. So when we needed a domain for TRAFFIC it was obvious that Traffic.com was not available nor could I afford it if it were. How many millions is that worth? Traffic as a Keyword is one of the most difficult to get and that was true early on.
So I had TargetedTraffic.com in my portfolio and so it was. Even tho we are known as TRAFFIC.
But this weekend I was offered a domain that of course I could not resist. Traffic.me.
Now I may use it personally at some point and speaking of point it is pointed right here for now.
Did I think about using Traffic.me as our new home? Yes I did. And maybe someday I will. But today I can't. I won't. I would really love to. But as a marketing guy.....just can't allow myself to do it. Just like my Rick.tv and Rick.co. I love them, but it would be hard to use them. The Rick.tv probably has the best shot if I ever go that direction. That is the most ripe one from where I sit.
But here is the point. I always re-evaluate. Each new tidbit requires re-evaluation. But this is an example of a real world dilemma. I wish I could afford Traffic.com but I can't. Rick.com will likely never be on the market in my lifetime. So faced with the same decision many others face I know what I have to do.

You made the right choice, .me is cute but doesn’t get the same assertion as .com in regards to a professional seminar.

Y’all, do not forget, rescore.me is also good for investors…
Good luck, King!
Fighting4.me and for the the others is so noble…
Thank You. Kind regards, Neil of NuggetSales.com

Hi Rick, I just checked it out and I could see that RICKSTRAFFIC.COM is still available. Regards

consistant revaluation and weeding out and pruning the old. an on going process. however there is room for development on the side. purchase one domain set up a separate sight, unique site with content and then compare, evaluate and then proceed.. done on a small scale minimum cash at risk and then either roll out, intregrate and discard.This is how r and d is done on a larger scale.

Thank You, Ron. You made my day. .MEs are nuggets for genuine domain collectors…
We’re is my comment?

I’ve always thought ‘TargetedTraffic’ was perfect. Even non domainers who are business/marketing/sales people understand what that means and are drawn to that phrase whether they see it in print, hear it verbally..etc.

NO end user has a clue what TRAFFIC or Targeted traffic is especially with all the periods and it ends up on Google under stories about freeway jams. You need a name like Domain Success that tells your customer what it is they get in return for what it is you do. Just so happens DomainSuccess.com IS available.

I am a DOT COM guy. I am not tempted by .me or .tv.
I don’t care how many reevaluations I do. DOT COM is for commerce. I am disappointed that the king is tempted by .me and .tv…
I own Reevaluations.com yet there is no reevaluation on the .COM! The leak from .co, .tv, .me will be unbearable.

Have you also compared performance of your RickSchwartz.com vs RicksBlog.com? I noticed both had the same contents. Have you thought about consolidating them into just one site, with the other one acting as a redirect?

Rick,
Targetedtraffic.com is a fine name. If you want to change, I suggest you go with two keywords: trafficconference.com. Essentially Traffic.me is a two keyword domain anyway. trafficconference.com is owned by Frank and is for sale.
